Both
Stratasys
J750™ and J735™ PolyJet™ 3D Printers are endorsed by Pantone as
meeting the PANTONE Validated standards of color quality and realism.
Backed by this substantiation, these PolyJet solutions are perfectly
aligned to meet the stringent requirements of design studios as they
synchronize the design-to-manufacturing process. The agreement allows
for simple and accurate color communication between designers, modellers
and manufacturers – with easy “choose-and-print” color-matching to
Pantone identities.

Two of the most powerful 3D printing solutions for designers, both J750
and J735 offer better product design through faster iterations, advanced
design options and creation of final models that match shapes, colors,
material appearance, finish and complex graphic design elements. This
new validation enables Stratasys to offer thousands of printable and
globally-recognized Pantone Colors, ensuring all contributors to the
design process are speaking the same language, potentially reducing
iterations, shrinking design cost, and speeding time-to-revenue.

“Designers work hard to build realistic prototypes in ways that speed
design, build and development cycles. Unfortunately, typical approaches
of manually painting each and every model is time consuming,” said Hadas
Schragenheim, Rapid Prototyping Manager, Stratasys. “Our agreement with
Pantone sets the stage for a revolution in design and prototype
processes. As the industry’s first 3D printers officially ‘PANTONE
Validated,’ we’re allowing designers to build realistic prototypes
faster than ever before – shrinking design-to-prototype and accelerating
product time-to-market.”

It’s anticipated that Stratasys customers can access Pantone
functionality directly within the GrabCAD Print environment by July 2019
– assigning and applying colors to 3D printed models by browsing the
relevant Pantone book.

“Pantone maintains a relentless focus on providing physical and digital
design solutions that are aligned with the way modern designers work.
Given the innovative applications of 3D printing in design, prototyping
and production workflows, Stratasys is a natural partner-of-choice,”
said Iain Pike, Director of Partner Business Development for Pantone.
“Together, we’re ensuring designers and manufacturers can leverage
advanced 3D Printing technologies to create the most vibrant and
color-correct 3D printed prototypes the market has ever seen – and with
confidence that simulated Pantone colors reflect the design intent.”

In industries ranging from consumer packaged goods to home products,
Stratasys customers can now tackle design challenges with the expertise
of Pantone. Eliminating wasted time and money associated with manual
painting and other traditional design approaches, the combination of
Stratasys and Pantone drives the highest levels of professional design
for better products and greater innovation in the shortest amount of
time.

Stratasys is exclusively unveiling this agreement with Pantone at this
week’s Additive Manufacturing User Group (AMUG) Conference 2019 in
Chicago, IL. Visit Stratasys at Booth No. D17 in Salon D of the Hilton
